The Senate Committees Inquiry.

Inc senate committees inquiry.
The Senate committees investigation yester-
day afternoon was conducted without any of the
restraint that has heretofore been put upon wit
nesses whose evidence was likely to be damag-
ing to the Insane Hospital trustees. This was
doubtless due to the fact that the witnesses were
all friends of DR.. Harrison, and were brought
before the committee solely for the purpose of
testifying in his behalf. The testimony of all of
them was the same. The witnesses were citi-
zens of Lebanon. and among the number were
Judge Terhune, John A. Abbott, lawyer: Y es-
ley Lane, banker; Israel Curry, clerk of the Cir
Oliver D. Kise. grocer; J. S. Cobb, deputy sher-
if; James Nelis, real estate dealer; N. C. Titus
sheriff; Barton S. Higgins. j. w. Gamer furni-
ture dealer; /. S. Adney. farmer; G. w. Nor
wood, ex-treasurer; l. NJ. Kelsey. Mayor of Leb-
anon: j. S. Peters, merchant; NJ. a. Dodson,
Adolphus Wysonc, hardware dealer. S. S. Daley.
banker, and T. j. Powell, farmer. They were
each asked by Attorney Span about DR..
Harrison's reputation in Lebanon for truth, and
veraci,y. and morality. All answered that it
was good, but, with few exceptions, admitted,
upon cross Axamir nation that his morality and
honesty had been freely discussed, and there
had been much talk rejecting upon his charac-
ter twelve or fourteen years ago, when he was
tried before the County Commissioners. 1t was
believed that he had since reformed. All of the
witnesses had heard of his being drunk on one
occasion recently. but they testified that he was

HE SUICIDES.
Leighton the Companion OF Miss Mayne
Yields to Remorse.

BAR HAKBoR, Dec. 4.
1t is rumored at Bar Harbor that Peter
Leighton, the man who was suspected of be-
ing concerned in the drowning of Miss Sarah
Mayne, in September of last year has COM
mtted suicide through remorse of conscience
though he was given a hearing at the time
and was released because of the lack of evi-
dence against him. The case excited con-
siderable interest at the time. 1t will be re-
membered that Leighton took Miss Mayne,
who was servant in the family of Mr. John
George of Baltimore, who was spending the
summer at Bar iarbor, out for row She
failed to return at the appointed hour and
search was instituted but no trace of her
whereabouts could be found. The next
morning one of the searching parties found
Leighton on the shore of Burnt Pocupine Is
land andhe told IA story about the boat being
upset and he and the girl clinging to the boat
until she urged him to swim to the shore for
assistance which he did leaving her clinging
to the boat He said that when he reached
the island he was too weak to go further.
Leighton was an employe on the yacht Ianthe
and left the place at the close of the season.
1t is reported he west and committed suicide
within few days out there.

Probable Proceedings OF the Coming
Congress

The j0th Congress will be called together
Monday with the possibility of dead lock in
the Senate over the admission of Senators
Turpie of Indiana and Faulkner of West
Virginia.
The course of that body during the rest of
the week cannot be predicted. Should this
stumbling block be avoided the Senate will
organize and notify the House and President
of its readiness to proceed to business. The
Presidents message will then be received on
Tuesday and nothing in the way Of general
legislation beside the introduction of bills is
likely to occur during the remainder of the
week.
caucus will probably be held to fill the
numerous vacancies in the several commit
tees. good deal of time will naturally be
spent by the Senate during the earlier weeks
of the session in secret session, as a long list
OF recess appointments by the President await
confirmation.
No hitch in the prompt organization of the
House is anticipated. After the reading of
the message and reference to the committee
of the whole, on Tuesday, an effort will be
made to prevent the introduction of bills un-
til Speaker Carlisle has announced the COM
mittees. A large influx of new members and
a close division of the House on party ques-
tons will make committees difficult and may
occupy the speakers time till the holiday re-
cess.
| Probably NO legislative business of impor-
tance can be transacted. The House viii
